Default 3 day challenge

So for March I set for myself the very reasonable goal of playing 30,000 hands.

Somehow, though, between a couple of unplanned weekend trips, my birthday, and meeting someone who sucked up about an entire week, as of this very moment (March 29th, 10AM) the running total is a whopping 20,065 hands. No problem, though... I've still got 62 hours.

Hence the 10k in 3 days quest, starting now. Plenty updates to follow, keep me in line please.

(oh BTW, the most I've ever played in one day was 2500 hands ...and that was when I played shorthanded.)

4PM.
Poker is lame. Running bad makes it hard to get hands in. Day games suck. Season 4 of the shield is awesome.

1004 hands, -$2535

You might want to consider backing off and not insisting upon plowing through just to make your March goal of 30,000 hands.

It is not March 1st, it is March 29th, you are not where you were then, you are where you are now.

I'm sure this advice appears to be incredibly simple and stupid. Yes, it is. But insisting upon ramming through at all costs despite the facts is more likely to prove costly than profitable. You are handicapping yourself and feeding basic emotions that don't belong in professional poker anyway.

I know you already know all of this, just a friendly reminder in case you have forgotten it [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img].

What you write is very intelligent. Unfortunately, falling on deaf ears for now.

If i run like crapola and lose 10k or something then I'll stop, but for now, i'd like to actually complete a goal I set for myself.

What game are you playing? Are you sticking with one limit or moving up and down depending on how things go?

It's all 20/40 so far. I may play 30/60, but 20/40 is my main game.
